Elongation is only good with 1 flag capture or one way assualt. even then its to easily lopsided. if the PP wasnt on it disabling the noob then the weapons match up would be a lot better. starting with BR's is probably the most favorable way to go with 1 flag ctf. as for those who hate Midship/warlock why? there great symetrical maps impling great team work to win. H2 is about team work on LIVE when it comes to serious Level up. you aint gonna get there are your own. finding 3 really good players you get along with and understand their style of play and syncrenizing with them as a cohesive unit is the only way to level up past your 'actual' level. thats why 1v1 is gone...thats why double team might go soon as well its becoming far to simular in pyschology of game play to 1v1. meaning the the match is usualy determined inside the 1st 30 seconds.. but maybe thats just me. maybe im wrong... just a bit. Gemini on the other hand is a personal fav for me. havnt a clue why i dont care for the map layout or weapon setups, but no matter how crappy (trust me im horrible) im playing that day the instant i get put on gem in MM i alawys play VERY well. used to be like that on sanctuary, which i actualy like alot esp nutrual bomb/flag. Lock out is THE BEST MAP. Coag is the Fan fav...please leave these maps alone. thank you. B. Mounds is great for objective BR start ditto for relic and terminal. stay off these maps if your a hardcore TS type of player. Collosses sucks no matter what game type your playing. its just a weird map that noone i mean NOONE likes AT ALL. the winners on this map are usualy the ones who hate and suck at it less then the other guys. Containment=sidewinder for Halo 2. leave it alone. beaver creek. i liked battle creek name better. maybe in halo 3 they will refrane from using a double pun for hidden "sugjestive" intents for the name of a 'location' in which 'great' battles are 'hard' fought and won..... IF anyone who read this 'little' part understands where i'm 'coming' from please put it in their Sig.s Thx ^_______________^


OMG Ninja is gonna have my B***s for this but ohwell it NEEDED to be said


all good points. tho, i don't understand the logic behind 2 v 2 and comparing it to 1 v 1, but that might b cuz i dont' play 2 v 2 all that much. i liked the whole thing on beaver creek, but in all seriousness, warlock is the worst map. i know it takes team work to level up and all that wonderful stuff, but when u have a team that is on top of the platforms with BR's and all u have are SMG's, it is really tough to do anything, especially with how powerful grenades are. that is why i vote for warlock.

Umm... first of all, please go to school and learn proper grammar.

Second of all, this isn't a map-bashing thread - we're not saying that all the maps are bad. We're merely discussing a way for Bungie to fix the maps that most people have a problem with. For example, since everyone hates Elongation, perhaps Bungie should tweak around the settings to disallow the noob combo, brute shots, etc. Seriously, the way Elongation is now, especially in Team Slayer, takes little skill to win at - once you maintain the host shotgun/noob combo, you win.

I like to Rollick

The worst map had to of been waterworks snipers, the games would be drawn out and would rarely reach 50, and would consist of camping the center structure, but they fixed that so I guess Elongation is currently the worst map.

I just don't like how it is layed out, and playing double team on that map is frustrating with the spawns for the objective games.

Oh efekz, is your gamertag sk eFeKz ?

Isn't Gemini a PR start?

What's the worst map in Matchmaking? A map that makes you groan and say, "Aw #$%@, not this crap again!"

For me, it's a split between Terminal, Elongation, and Beaver Creek. In Terminal, there are WAY too many places to camp when you have a lead (ie. an entire team hiding in the "secret room" atop the garage). Also, there is basically NO skill whatsoever involved in playing Elongation = whoever has host shotgun/noob combo wins. Beaver Creek is possibly the most weapon-dominated map = if you don't have noob combo, rockets, and snipers, you might as well just quit out since most of the time you spawn in bases with no access to weapons while people camp on high ground.

Well? Hurry up and post your replies!


***EDIT***
I think it's clear that Elongation needs to be removed from Matchmaking. I hope Bungie is reading this!!


I agree with everything you just said. So I go with all three.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Because ten posters claim Elongation is the worst MM map, it should be removed? Idiots.

Warlock is amazing if you have host, especially in a skirmish game. Otherwise, it's still good :D

Yea it is pretty good in a CTF skirmish game, and i kind of like it for SWAT but when you get a 2v2 or an oddball game there its really not that much fun, its too symmetrical and in an oddball game the people will just portal hop. The only time i really enjoy a game there is a custom game and you hav e like 16 ppl and its 4 Flag CTF.

You really need to get out of Slayer and play some Team Skirmish, or even better, BTB Skirmish.

Are you kidding me?? I play way more Skirmish than i do Slayer... in fact I'm a 30 in Skirmish and i was a 31 in BTB on my old expired account.

So don't make assumptions about people. Besides, this post isn't about Slayer, its about the maps and their weapon settings.

I think if everyone got what they wanted we'd be Lockout 24/7 with BR starts.

I think the worst map in Halo 2 is when the system boots up for us to play. THAT MAP IS HORRID!

Lockout is pretty bad SMG start. Reading through the posts, it seems only I like elongation.
